Description

  The present invention relates to a telescopic clothes drying apparatus that is detachably attached to an upper surface of a clothes drying position such as a ceiling surface of a veranda, and in which a holding position of a clothes rack can be displaced up and down.

  As a device for holding a hanging basket at a drying position such as a veranda, a device provided with a hanging member that holds a hanging basket at the lower end of a telescopic column having an upper end fixed to the upper surface of the drying position such as a ceiling surface of a veranda is there. When holding the clothesline on the hanging member or hanging the laundry on the clothesline, the column is extended to position the hanging member downward. When hanging the laundry that has been hung on the clothesline, the struts are contracted to a desired length in consideration of ventilation and the like, and the hanging member is positioned upward. When not in use, the support member is most contracted and the hook member is positioned at the uppermost position, so that a person or an object can pass under the hook member.

Furthermore, in the conventional clothes drying device, the column is detachably attached to the top surface of the clothesline, and the hanging member is removed together with the column when not in use, thereby creating a sufficiently high space at the clothesline position such as a veranda. Some have made it easier to move people and things. For example, a configuration is disclosed in which a handle is provided at the lower part of the support, the restriction of the expansion and contraction of the support is released by an operation in the vertical direction of the handle, and the holding of the support is released by an operation in the rotation direction of the handle (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

  However, in the conventional clothes drying apparatus, it is necessary to remove the clothes hanging basket from the hanging member when attaching and detaching the support column, and there is a problem that the work for creating a sufficiently high space at the clothes drying position becomes complicated.

  An object of the present invention is to allow the lower end portion of the column to which the hanging member is fixed to be lifted upward in a state in which the hanging basket is held on the hanging member, and to lift the hanging basket from the hanging member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a splash-type drying apparatus that can create a sufficiently high space in the clothes drying position without being extracted.

The lifting type clothes drying apparatus of the present invention includes a hook member, a support column, a support member, a regulating member, and an operation member. The support column has a cylindrical shape, and the hook member is fixed to the lower end portion. The support member rotatably supports the upper end of the support column so as to move between a first position where the longitudinal direction of the support column is a vertical direction and a second position where the longitudinal direction of the support column is a horizontal direction. To do. The restricting member restricts rotation of the upper end portion of the support column in a state where the lower end portion of the support column is located at each of the first position and the second position. The operation member receives an operation for releasing the restriction of the restriction member. The transmission member transmits the operation force of the operation member to the restriction member. The hanging member holds the clothesline with an inclined surface that does not become horizontal while the lower end of the support column moves from the first position to the second position.
The restricting member includes a through-hole formed in the upper end portion of the column along the radial direction, a stopper that can be inserted into and removed from the through-hole along the radial direction, and a stopper that is attached from the outer side to the inner side in the radial direction. And a spring that regulates the rotation of the upper end of the column by the stopper being fitted into the through hole.
The transmission member includes an operation bar disposed between the upper end and the lower end of the support column with the operation member fixed to the lower end, and a pusher fixed to the upper end of the operation bar and inserted into the through hole. When the operating member is pressed from the lower end portion to the upper end portion of the support column, the stopper is moved to a position where the stopper is not inserted into the through hole by the movement of the operation bar and the pusher. Thereby, the restriction | limiting of rotation of the upper end part of a support | pillar is cancelled | released.

  The inclined surface of the hanging member on which the clothes-drying basket is held does not become horizontal while the lower end portion of the support column moves from the first position to the second position due to the rotation of the upper end portion of the support column. Therefore, the lower end portion of the support column moves from the first position to the second position by the rotation of the support column while the hanging rod is held on the hanging member.

  In this configuration, the hook member has at least one elliptical arc portion in the inclined surface, exhibits a plate shape inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the column in the rotating surface of the column, and allows the clothes-line basket to pass through the elliptical arc unit. It may be a thing. The displacement of the hanging basket in the hole due to the change in the angle of the hanging member due to the rotation of the upper end of the column can be allowed, and the shape of the portion of the hanging member that holds the hanging basket can be reduced in size. Thereby, a large number of elliptical arc portions can be formed on the hook member.

  Further, the first position may be a position where the longitudinal direction of the support column is the vertical direction, and the second position may be a position where the longitudinal direction of the support column is the horizontal direction. In this case, the shape of the elliptical arc portion can be minimized by inclining the inclined surface at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support column in the rotation surface of the support column.

  The elliptical arc part includes a full elliptical hole and a partial elliptical recess.

  According to the present invention, the lower end portion of the column to which the hanging member is fixed can be lifted upward while the hanging rod is held on the hanging member, and the hanging rod is pulled out from the hanging member. It is possible to create a sufficiently high space at the clothesline.

  FIG. 1 is an external view of a lifting type clothes drying apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The splash-type clothes drying apparatus 10 includes a support 1, a hook member 2, a pedestal 3, and a support member 4.

  The pedestal 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the clothesline such as the ceiling surface of the veranda. The support member 4 is fixed to the pedestal 3. A horizontal groove 31 and an inclined groove 32 are formed in the base 3. The support member 4 is attached to the pedestal 3 with an angle within a predetermined range corresponding to the inclination angle of the upper surface of the clothes drying position via attachment screws 33 and 34 penetrating the horizontal groove 31 and the inclined groove 32, respectively.

  The support member 4 rotatably supports the upper end portion of the support column 1. The support column 1 is a cylindrical body whose upper and lower surfaces are open. As an example, the column 1 is supported by the support member 4 at its upper end so that it can rotate within an angle range of 90 degrees between a position where the longitudinal direction is the vertical direction and a position where the longitudinal direction is the horizontal direction. Has been. The lower end portion of the support column 1 moves between the first position that is farthest from the upper surface of the clothes drying position and the second position that the lower end portion of the support column 1 is closest to the upper surface of the clothes drying position by the rotation of the support column 1.

  The hook member 2 includes a cylindrical attachment portion 21 at the center, and plate-like portions 22 extend on both sides of the attachment portion 21. The attachment portion 21 is externally fitted to the lower end portion of the support column 1 from below along the longitudinal direction of the support column 1 and then fixed via a set screw (not shown). As an example, two holes 23 are formed in each of the left and right plate-like portions 22. The laundry basket 100 is inserted into the hole 23.

  With the longitudinal direction of the support column 1 being the vertical direction and the lower end portion of the support column 1 being in the first position, the hanging member 2 is positioned at the lowest position, and the laundry is put on the clothesline 100 inserted in the hole 2. The work to hang can be performed. In a state where the longitudinal direction of the support column 1 is the horizontal direction and the lower end portion of the support column 1 is in the second position, the hanging member 2 is positioned at the uppermost position, and a sufficient space is formed at the clothes drying position.

  2 (A) and 2 (B) are a front sectional view and a side sectional view of the above-described lifting-type clothes drying apparatus. The support column 1 has a cylindrical shape whose upper and lower surfaces are open. An operation member 5 is held at the lower end of the support column 1 so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the support column 1, and the bottom surface of the operation member 5 is exposed at the lower end surface of the support column 1. An operation bar 51 is disposed in the column 1 so as to penetrate in the longitudinal direction. The operation member 5 is fixed to the lower end of the operation bar 51. A pusher 52 is fixed to the upper end of the operation bar 51.

  The support member 4 includes a first stopper 42, a first spring 43, a second stopper 44, and a second spring 45. The stopper 42 is movable in the vertical direction above the shaft 41. The spring 43 biases the stopper 42 vertically downward. The stopper 44 is movable in the horizontal direction in front of the shaft 41. The spring 45 urges the stopper 44 to the back side.

  A columnar locking member 11 whose center axis is orthogonal to the axial direction of the column 1 is fixed to the upper end of the column 1. The locking member 11 is rotatably supported by the support member 4, and the support column 1 is rotated by the support member 4 together with the locking member 11 around the axis of the locking member 11. The locking member 11 has a through hole 13 at the center. A pusher 52 is fitted into the through-hole 13 from below, and a stopper 42 or 44 is selectively fitted from above.

  When the lower end portion of the support column 1 is in the first position and the longitudinal direction of the support column 1 is parallel to the vertical direction, the stopper 42 is fitted into the through hole 13 in a state where the operation member 5 is not operated. When the lower end portion of the support column 1 is in the second position and the longitudinal direction of the support column 1 is parallel to the horizontal direction, the stopper 44 is fitted into the through hole 13 in a state where the operation member 5 is not operated. In either case, the rotation of the upper end of the support column 1 in the support member 4 is restricted.

  The pusher 52 contacts the stopper 42 or the stopper 44 in the through hole 13. When the operation member 5 is pressed toward the support member 4, the pusher 52 moves to the support member 4 side together with the operation bar 51 along with the operation member 5, and presses the stopper 42 or the stopper 44. 44 does not fit into the through hole 13. As a result, the upper end of the column 1 can be rotated with respect to the support member 4.

  In the above configuration, the stoppers 42 and 44, the springs 43 and 45, and the through hole 13 correspond to the restriction member of the present invention, and the operation bar 51 and the pusher 52 also correspond to the transmission member.

  FIG. 3 is a side view of the above-described lifting-type clothes drying apparatus. As an example, the plate-like portion 22 of the hook member 2 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the column 1 in a side view.

  The plate-like portion 22 is parallel to the horizontal direction in a side view while the support column 1 is rotated in an angle range of 90 degrees from the state in which the lower end of the support column 1 is in the first position to the second position. Never become. For this reason, it is possible to rotate the support column 1 from the vertical state during use to the horizontal state during storage while the laundry basket 100 is horizontally inserted into the hole 23 of the hook member 2.

  Therefore, when the laundry is to be dried, the support column 1 is placed in a vertical state during use, and the rinse is hung on the clothesline 100 inserted in the hole 23 of the hook member 2 to dry the laundry. After the dried laundry is taken in, the column 1 can be rotated to the horizontal state at the time of storage without pulling out the clothes basket 100 from the hanging member 2.

  When hanging laundry on the laundry basket 100 and creating a sufficient space at the laundry position, it is not necessary to insert or remove the laundry basket 100 into the hole 23 of the hanging member 2 and perform these operations. It can be done easily.

  In addition, the hole part 23 formed in the hanging member 2 is sized so that the clothes basket 100 can penetrate in the width direction, and is formed in an elliptical shape larger than the width direction in the direction orthogonal to the width direction. .

  For this reason, the hole part 23 can be made into the minimum size which can respond to the relative angle change of the hole part 23 and the hanging basket 100 while the support | pillar 1 rotates from the state at the time of use to the state at the time of accommodation, The size of the plate-like part 22 in which the hole part 23 is formed can be minimized.

  Moreover, the support | pillar 1 does not necessarily need to become vertical in the state at the time of use, and does not necessarily need to become horizontal in the state at the time of accommodation. Further, the inclination angle of the plate-like portion 22 is not necessarily 45 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support column 1. The inclination angle of the plate-like portion 22 is an angle at which the height of the hole portion 23 in the front view does not become smaller than the outer diameter of the hanging basket 100 while the support column 1 rotates from the use state to the storage state. It is possible to make an arbitrary angle on the condition.

  In addition, the part which holds the hanging basket 100 with the hook member 2 does not necessarily need to be the hole part 23, and may be the recessed part which the upper part opened.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the string body 12 such as a wire having one end fixed to the stopper 44 may be suspended from the side surface of the support member 4 through a spring 45, for example. When the upper surface of the clothes drying position to which the lifting type clothes drying apparatus 10 is to be attached is high, the support 12 in the horizontal state is released by the stopper 44 by pulling the string body 12 downward instead of the pressing operation of the operation member 5. Can do. In this case, a member that applies a braking force to the downward rotation of the support column 1 may be provided inside the support member 4 so as to reduce the rotation speed of the support column 1.

  The above description of the embodiment is to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above embodiments but by the claims. Furthermore, the scope of the present invention is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of the claims.
